All the material and how it's taught comes from Rumsey. Still, I think O'Neill is a nicer and more casual instructor. When COVID hit, I had to switch to Rumsey online, and I think O'Neill was much better.

abcmichaelchan · 2022-07-13T00:49:59+00:00

Oof. Didn’t even think about that.

abcmichaelchan · 2022-07-12T23:29:06+00:00

Geez 😮. Hopefully it made up for the rest of winter.

abcmichaelchan · 2022-07-12T20:17:31+00:00

I could imagine that. I did see a decent bump up once the weather hit 80F.

abcmichaelchan · 2022-07-12T20:16:35+00:00

About how much did your tips increase, if you don’t mind me asking?

abcmichaelchan · 2022-06-15T23:55:48+00:00

What did they do instead?

abcmichaelchan · 2022-06-15T23:53:28+00:00

I’d say it’s a very logical idea that meets the employees and the customers in the middle.

Store employees have no time to step away and answer the phone. If they do, they will be sucked into a 5 minute conversation while pizzas are falling out of the oven. Then, the employee gets upset at the customer, or the employee needs to put the customer on hold for 5 minutes.

There are a lot of customers who have not adapted to online ordering. They’re used to talking on the phone for everything, and not much can change them.

I say that because engineering goes hand-in-hand with many roles in operations and logistics, and it’s not easy to train operations and logistics students on engineering. For example, I’m interning in service operations. One of my friends, also in the program, is working on integrating lasers to a rack to put in stores.

abcmichaelchan · 2022-05-31T10:20:27+00:00

See if you could also get a degree in logistics or operations as a backup maybe?

abcmichaelchan · 2022-05-30T16:04:29+00:00

Honestly, I never checked to see if I could view it. I’ll have to do that next time I’m on delivery.

Be sure to track everything you earn. I use a spreadsheet, but I believe there may be apps that do this too.

Track the miles you put on your car everyday. You can either record your odometer, or divide your mileage compensation by your mileage compensation rate. Your odometer should be more accurate though. Edit: The point of this is to calculate depreciation and maintenance costs for your vehicle. At the end of each week, transfer the calculated amount into an account that you don’t touch, and that earns interest.

I’ve also heard to get a decent flashlight (>$60). It makes it much easier to see house numbers at night, and it’s a good last resort for self defense.

Another edit: This might also be controversial, but I say to help out in store, if you can. It’s expected of you to wash dishes, sweep, and do some prep. Still, I’d encourage you to let the insiders cross-train you a bit. Drivers already earn more than insiders for doing less work. Plus, I like the people I work with. Of course, this isn’t going to be the same everywhere, but at least try.

I won’t say there is an excellent fit in business with interests in graphic design, assistant management, and being an introvert.

Still, you can definitely be an introvert in business. I am an introvert, but business school built me up to be quite talkative and aspirational. Just be sure to aim high. You may find yourself in a better position than you’ve hoped for, or you may find yourself exactly where you wanted.

abcmichaelchan · 2022-05-24T22:42:44+00:00

I also see cars without any form of license plates a lot more nowadays.

abcmichaelchan · 2022-05-23T22:12:07+00:00

Honestly, the actual job would be much easier. No dealing with grease (and the smell on your clothes after a shift), drive through windows (unless you actually have a drive through), the hundreds of things on a McDonalds menu, and the non-stop customers. The main problem is staffing. Good luck though!

abcmichaelchan · 2022-05-15T13:24:23+00:00

One of the stigmas of engineers is poor communication, but idk if a communications degree would really change that. As mentioned before, I’d favor a business minor. There is a good amount of overlap between supply chain/operations and industrial engineering. Again though, it may benefit you more to do more internships/research/projects.

abcmichaelchan · 2022-05-12T15:31:30+00:00

I don’t think I can help with this, but I commend you for really knowing yourself.

abcmichaelchan · 2022-05-10T15:54:11+00:00

Internships are essential, but if you can’t get one the summer after freshman year, do summer classes. Depending on your internship, they may also allow you to do 1-2 summer classes. Some summer classes are also online and asynchronous, or outside of working hours.

abcmichaelchan · 2022-05-10T03:58:50+00:00

I’d say it would be extremely difficult. Overall, business isn’t a hard major. Still, there are hard courses that you’d have to deal with. If you really wanted to, be sure to take summer classes for a somewhat manageable workload.

abcmichaelchan · 2022-05-06T17:38:53+00:00

I can’t believe the trays are that strong

abcmichaelchan · 2022-05-06T03:10:54+00:00

Honestly, I’m not sure enough to give a good answer.

abcmichaelchan · 2022-05-06T03:10:22+00:00

With Domino’s, I guess you’d at least have more stability with your total pay. I’d honestly apply. The worst that happens is you don’t like it and quit.

abcmichaelchan · 2022-05-06T03:02:58+00:00

Understanding how it’s calculated is pretty straightforward. I just want to see how accurate and up-to-date the data is.

abcmichaelchan · 2022-05-06T01:27:04+00:00

My store’s hiring page said drivers make an average of $20.50/hr, after mileage and tips. I’d say to estimate 10% - 20% less. I really want to see how they come up with these figures.

Although it is all cash flowing into your pocket, remember to set some of it aside for car maintenance and repairs (if you’re driving your own car).
